I'm heading out to pick out some 10 week old birds today (hopefully).
They were sexed female by the hatchery as chicks, but I know mistakes can be made.

There are a few breeds available:
  • Buckeye
  • Welsummer
  • Delaware
  • Golden-Laced Wyandotte
  • Easter-Egger (the only breed I'm familiar with)

Any advice on what to look for to try and ensure I get three for-sure-pullets? I'm not familiar with the comb development on most of those breeds. I assume the less color the better? Is there an exception to that rule? Also, any advice or experience on the benefits of one breed over another?
